Always looking for interesting subjects to add to their world-famous 1/35 scale Military Miniatures lineup, Tamiya has the the unique French Armored Carrier UE.

The initial production of 60 vehicles was soon supplemented by larger orders as France sought to re-equip its army to face the growing threat of Germany. This is a plastic model that needs assembly.
